The founder of an Irish fast food restaurant chain claims its new service station in Clare will be its biggest one yet. The €20 million Supermac's Banner Plaza, which is located at Junction 12 off the M18 near Doora, has officially opened its doors. The complex supports over 120 jobs and has been in the works for 14 years during which time it's seen off various legal challenges. Founder and Managing Director of Supermac's, Pat McDonagh, says the need for it was clear.

The long-awaited opening of a new service station on the outskirts of Ennis is being hailed as a win for the economy of the county town and its surrounds. Following a lengthy battle, the Supermac's Banner Plaza at Junction 12 on the M18 has officially opened its doors this afternoon. The station is the result of a €20 million investment and is responsible for the creation of more than 120 jobs. Clare FM's Seán Lyons has been speaking to local Councillor Pat Daly at the Banner Plaza

The Managing Director of Supermac's says they'll fight "tooth and nail" to defeat a new challenge to its planned service station in Clare. Uisce Éireann has stopped working on a wastewater connection to the new Banner Plaza located at Junction 12 outside Ennis due to High Court legal action launched against the water utility in August. The action is being taken by the group Friends of the Irish Environment on the grounds that the Clareabbey Wastewater Treatment Plan is "already overloaded" - a claim disputed by Supermac's. Pat McDonagh says there's no basis to the challenge and insists the plaza will be open to the public in the near future.

Fresh doubt has been cast on the future of Supermac's Ennis plaza as a new high court challenge has been launched. The Friends of the Irish Environment has commenced action against Uisce Éireann for its decision to grant a wastewater connection for the plaza, which is due to open in the coming months just off junction 12 of the M18. The group claims the Clareabbey Plant is already operating above capacity and that it's regularly discharging raw or partially treated sewerage into the River Fergus. However, Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Daly believes the challenge is ridiculous and should be dismissed.

Objectors to a near-completed motorway plaza on the outskirts of Ennis insist they hope to have high court action relating to wastewater treatment wrapped up in a matter of months, not years. Fresh doubt has been cast on the future of Supermac's ten million euro development just off junction 12 of the M18, which is due to open at the end of October. Friends of the Irish Environment commenced action against Uisce Éireann, for its decision to grant a wastewater connection. Supermac's ten million euro motorway service station, which is located just off junction 12 of the M18 is almost finished construction and is set to provide up to 120 jobs when operational at the end of October. The project has already been the subject of a full judicial review, but now the Friends of the Irish Environment has launched High Court legal action against Uisce Éireann over its recent connection agreement. The environmental group claims the Clareabbey Plant is already operating above capacity and that it's regularly discharging raw or partially treated sewerage into the River Fergus. In September of last year, the High Court rejected similar arguments and confirmed the decisions of Clare County Council and An Bord Pleanála. The judgement noted that there was no evidence to support the suggestion that the treated water from the Plaza would adversely affect the output from the Clareabbey treatment plant. Environmental activist and one of the Directors of the Irish NGO Friends of the Irish Environment, Tony Lowes says, however, the EPA has since uncovered evidence that suggests storm water overflows and overcapacity.

Oliver's monologue on a Tuesday

Macmillan overcame the terrible legacy of the Suez catastrophe and, running an economy focused on growth to fund increasing living standards, giving him the opportunity to annouce that people had never had it so good. That reflect both a genuine concern with eliminating poverty and as an effective electoral strategy, pulled off the trick by increasing the Conservative majority in its third consecutive general election win in 1959.Meanwhile, in the Labour Party, in opposition, the left-right split was causing serious dissension, with Nye Bevan leading the left and winning great support for his brilliance and his charisma, but a lot of criticism too for the damage done by views that were sometimes extremist. His group of troublemakers included the young and ambitious Harold Wilson. He, however, when he realised that aligning with the left wing was getting him nowhere, drifted rightwards, ending up by taking Bevan's seat on the Labour Shadow Cabinet instead of backing his resignation from it. He then supported the rightwinger Gaitskell's campaign to become Labour leader against Bevan. Macmillan found himself facing Gaitskell and Wilson in opposition to him as his continued dash for economic growth, alongside fear or inflation and pressure on the currency, led to his alternating between periods of economic relaxation and periods of retrenchment. Gaitskell and Wilson denounced ‘boom and bust' economics.Things were beginning to turn nasty for Macmillan. But we haven't seen how nasty yet.Illustration: Supermac as seen by Vicky Public Domain.Music: Bach Partita #2c by J Bu licensed under an Attribution-NonCommercial-No Derivatives (aka Music Sharing) 3.0 International License

Apple's licensing approach (ca. 1994-1997) is a bad idea. Original text by Steven Levy, Macworld January 1995. Andy Bechtolscheim quote about SPARC licensing and Macintosh clones: “Sun had a unified business… it wasn't really selling separate software. … that whole notion of defining success [as] ‘other people adopt your thing'… Apple was criticized for being a closed system, then they licensed SuperMac … to build clones …. and the first thing Steve Jobs did when he came back to Apple was he killed all the clones, right? ‘cause if you cannot build a better system yourself, you don't need the clones for sure, right?” Transcript. Guerrino de Luca's time with Apple goes back to at least 1992 (appearance at 1m52s), included a stint at Claris, and ended shortly after Steve Jobs returned in 1997. Guerrino's last appearance with Apple. Don't worry; he did fine for himself–he went to Logitech and was its president and CEO until 2008. Guerrino bookending Apple's System 7.5 promo video. Given Apple's tendency to undergo frequent reorgs throughout the '90s, Don Strickland did not last as head of licensing operations. Unfortunately Don passed away in 2022 though his website is still up. Compaq was a much more creative and technically significant company in its early days before it was forced to produce bargain basement PCs. Rod Canion's excellent and highly entertaining (for nerds) book “Open” recounts the story. Power Computing only made it halfway to its goal of selling 100,000 Macs in its first year.

Supermac's owner Pat McDonagh is voicing strong opposition to plans for a near 17% increase in personal injury awards. He argues that the rise will only add more strain on struggling businesses, and drive up insurance costs. With Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan now considering the proposal, McDonagh warns it could lead to more court cases and higher legal fees, benefiting the legal profession but costing businesses and consumers…Joining Kieran to discuss this is Stuart Gilhooley, Solicitor and Senior Counsel and Brian Hanley, CEO of Alliance for Insurance Reform.

I was lucky to have been standing in the right place when video became part of the Macintosh. And I got to experience a type of customer buying behavior I had never seen before – the Novelty Effect.

While this story is about my experience in packaging for computer retail channels, if you substitute the word “web site” for retail, you'll get the idea why these lessons were timeless for me.

Newcastle United fans were dealt some sad news earlier this week as it announced John Tudor had passed away. The former Toon striker died aged 78 after a battle with dementia. A man who scored 72 goals for the club - he was best known for his partnership with Supermac. Chroncile Live's John Gibson pays a special tribute to Tudor - not a Toon legend to many but also a personal friend to Gibbo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

At SuperMac, I thought I was good VP of marketing; aggressive, relentless and would take no prisoners – even with my peers inside the company. But a series of Zen-like moments helped me move to a different level that changed how I operated. It didn't make my marketing skills any worse or better, but moved me to play forever on a different field.

A year after we started repositioning the company, Engineering, which had been working on a family of new products literally for years, came to deliver some good news and bad news.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Pocket over Zoom video!After much fanfare for his recent singles, the rising star of the electronic scene, Edinburgh-raised Pocket, recently released his debut Helix Records EP, ‘Love DIsc.'The EP features the single, “Evergreen (ft. kloe),” which is available to stream now. The track is built around a joyful and radiant house instrumental that balances perfectly with kloe's heartfelt lyrics and stunning vocal delivery.“‘Evergreen' was a song that I started with the idea that its simplicity is its strength. Lots of texture and all based around the piano part. KLOE and I had a chat about our lives and everything we were experiencing, and the song became a love letter to being with someone long distance. The unapologetic lyrics and feel is to me what makes it such a standout. In the climate of house music and dance music in the UK, it's very easy to hold yourself back from making something sweet and warm with the fear of not fitting the mold, and I'm happy with taking the chance to make that happen,” Pocket says.Diversity is the name of the game when it comes to Pocket's approach to music and the EP offers a kaleidoscope of ranges and styles. Emblematic of Pocket's fresh sound, “U (ft. BRONZE AVERY)” is the perfect combination of pop, house, and UK garage. Pocket's light and airy instrumental melds perfectly with BRONZE AVERY's powerful-yet-soothing vocals. Using curiously satisfying vocal chops, and minimal but intricate production, ‘Crying at Supermac's' shows off a sound reminiscent of classic Burial. Pocket's unique style pierces through the saturated scene, showcasing a unique and excitable new project for fans.It's been an incredible start to Pocket's career - he was named one of the top 25 artists to watch in 2022 by Mixmag (his song 'Heartbreak Engineering' was also named amongst ‘Best Tracks of the Year April 2022'); received playlist support from Flume, DJ Seinfeld, and Salute, released a remix for Charli XCX and performed alongside Porter Robinson and Fred Again and has been included in tastemaker playlists POLLEN and Altar. Pocket's recent release, ‘U (ft BRONZE AVERY), featured in Paper Magazine in addition to receiving support from a who's who of DJs including Armin Van Buuren, The Magician, Dillon Francis, Joris Voorn, Calvin Harris, MK, Icarus, Oliver Heldens, Martin Garrix, Kryder, Sam Divine, Don Diablo, Carl Craig, Gabriel & Dresden / Dave, and PS1, among others.We want to hear from you!
